This is a short tour program designed for a week in Bhutan. It is designed for those of our guests who would like to visit Bhutan, feel and know her beauty in a brief visit. So, if you do not have much time, go for the “Explore Bhutan”. It’s an ideal and quick way to experience the glory and the myth of Bhutan. This trip can also be your post or pre-trip extension for those who are traveling in India, Nepal, and South East Asia. This brief visit is designed to capture your heart and mind so that you will not miss out Bhutan as your next destination while you plan for your next holiday.
Things to notice – of past, present and the transition phase.
In clear weather, Druk Air/Bhutan Airline’s flight to Bhutan provides a wonderful view of Himalayan scenery. Whether flying along the Himalayan range from Katmandu or over the foothills from Kolkata, it is a breathtaking journey, culminating in an exciting descent into the unexploited forested hills of the kingdom. It is indeed akin to an air show. Our pilots could be seen demonstrating their maneuvering ability as they land, if you like.
As our pilots hover above Paro in preparation for descent, at a glance you will be impressed by the unique art and architecture (the houses and monasteries) on the mountain tops and in the valley beneath. At once you will also be aware of kind of farming that our farmers carry out unlike in the west. It is all manual and you will see for yourself.

DAY 01: PARO – THIMPHU
On arrival at Paro airport, you will be received by our representative. On completion of airport formalities, as you come out of the airport you will suddenly see for the first time, people dressed in their national dresses, both men and women. We are definite that seeing this live is an impression that you will stay with you for a long time. That’s where our Cultural touch and introduction to Bhutan begins from the very first day of the meeting. Then, as we cruise along the Paro River heading to Thimphu, there will be an interesting drive along the windy highway for about an hour and half to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. The stop after about half an hour at the check post, at the confluence of Paro and Thimphu rivers, is yet another remarkable experience. The chorten (stupa) at the confluence of the two rivers and the purpose that it is there will interest you and give you the mystic feel of why you are in Bhutan and what could be expected. The night halt in Thimphu and feel of the city might give you an impression that you would like to note in your diary, so you have a chance to evaluate yourself and you would like to promise us for another visit.
Overnight – hotel in Thimphu.

DAY 02: TIHIMPHU – PUNAKHA
The visits in Thimphu are carefully designed to provide our guest with the best introduction of the country, the people, the culture and tradition, and let our guest get a feel of our socio-cultural integrity as we launch ourselves into modernization, in the best way we know how. We are always delighted to get your feedback during and after the trip.
Thimphu, may be perhaps the most unusual capital city in the world. Unusual, because it is a city where everyone knows everyone, almost! You will know what we mean when you visit. In other cities around the world, the chances of meeting an acquaintance once in a month might be as rare as winning the jack pot in a lottery draw. In Thimphu, one will be lucky if one could pass unnoticed for once, if you tried to. It is a city with qualities and potentials that need to be appreciated, preserved and promoted for the good of population.
This bustling city is home to Bhutan’s royal family, the civil service, and foreign missions with representation in Bhutan. It is also the headquarters for a number of internationally funded development projects.
In the morning after breakfast, we visit to the National Library, which houses an extensive collection of Buddhist literature, with some works dating back several hundred years. Followed by visit to the nearby Institute for Zorig Chusum (the institute for learning 13 differ
